The Sioux are a Native American people. The term describes any of three divisions of seven tribes (the Seven Council Fires; also referred to as the Great Sioux Nation), speaking four distinct dialects of the Sioux language, including the Lakota (also known as Teton), Assiniboine, Santee, and Nakota/Yankton-Yanktonai. The Sioux name for "the Nation" is Oceti Sakowin, meaning "Seven Council Fires".
